animal magic

This blouse; it must be 5/6 years old now, an impulse buy from Dorothy Perkins, unworn and languishing in my wardrobe. I re-discovered it last week whilst doing my usual “so many clothes yet nothing to wear” act and admitted defeat and placed it on the charity shop pile. Firmly embedded in my mind, a few days later I grabbed it off the pile and decided to finally try it on and see what it went with. Turns out it’s a pretty versatile top and now part of my working wardrobe.
This skirt has more than paid for itself since I snagged it in the River Island sale just after Christmas! It’s probably one of my most worn pieces, and despite the animal print it is perfect for the office.

Flash says relax.
Sorry for all the kitty pics! As you can see, someone has been milking his ordeal as much as possible. How can you refuse something so pathetic looking?

Happy Friday folk,
here’s to a quiet (violence free) weekend

Pieces.

Look who’s home! After making a stunning overnight recovery, winning a “pooper of the day” award and eating for England, Flash is now home with us. It seems like wonder cat has once again bounced back and now we have the challenge of getting him to take his medications.

Yesterday was a standard work outfit; I hate wearing the same outfit within the same week/two weeks but knowing I’d be there all day without a proper lunch break meant I went for an old faithful.

I don’t normally post a FOTD but argh, I am loving my new Clinique foundation (superbalanced makeup) worn with my favourite Topshop blusher. I thought my lipstick was brighter than it seems here, in fact I know it was! My new staple lip colour is MAC sheen supreme in Behave Yourself…the texture of these is amazing!

I’ve noticed I’m nearing 1000 followers on gfc (holy shit…not big for some, but incredible for me) so I’m planning a pretty huge (again, for me, but maybe not compared to others) giveaway to celebrate. Watch this space!

Happy Thursday Chaps! We’re almost through another week

An Explanation

In case anyone ever wondered why my blogs get posted so early in the day, especially on my days/mornings off…

He’s not as sweet and innocent as he looks.

Weekend Style

Kicking back in a vintage skirt, ancient uniqlo tee (the best tees ever) and Bertie espadrilles. I’ve never owned espadrilles before, and had never really considered them as a comfortable summer shoe, but this summer I found myself curious. This pair, gifted by Bertie (My favourite site for shoe drooling) are leather and so insanely comfortable. I don’t think I could cope with canvas ones, but these…I plan to live in these.

Flash wanted in on the photo action, he claims it is far too long since he made an appearance on the blog. He’s been a pain this weekend…anyone else watch Marley and Me on Channel 4? Flash is the feline Marley.

P.S. Anyone interested in a snack swap, e-mail me. It might take me a little while but I plan to maybe organise a swap either with myself, or random pairings depending on how many people are interested!

Monday saw the debut of another new wardobe arrival; shopping problem? What shopping problem?

Browsing on the New Look website for some summer cardigans; which are yet to be worn due to good old British weather, I got distracted by the sale. And this skirt. £7.99 and suitable for work? Where do I sign?

I love the colour. And the shape. I’ve always over-looked shades of red before now, convinced they didn’t suit me…at least…not on anywhere but my hair, or on my feet in the form of shoes. I’ve just opened a whole new window of colour spectrum shopping.

I wonder how much he’d fetch on ebay?

Day off today…hurrah!
